Subject: Inflation rate for periodicals

Has anyone done a review of the inflation rate for their journal
collection for 2000. I read the Ebsco claim that inflation would be
9-11% but just did the calculation for my collection and the
inflation is 13% on my Ebsco titles. Interestingly, the inflation rate
on my titles from Harrassowitz was only 7.67%.

Am I getting the higher number because we're a sci-tech library?
